Digital-Tutors - Creating Blood FX in Maya and RealFlow

What you will learn
In this tutorial we will learn about creating 3D blood effects using RealFlow 2013 and Maya 2013.

Throughout the training we will be identifying the types of blood effects used and setup CG blood squibs, including setting up RealFlow blood simulations. We will then look at using Maya fluids to create secondary elements to add that little bit of extra to the final render.The goal of this training is to be able to render professional looking blood FX.
